All are returning low production from previous seasons, will be inexperienced, and all are replacing QBs with unproven if talented players. Texas and Ohio State return 9 starters, Georgia only 7, and Oregon only 5.
Returning experience has a strong correlation with success. Clemson for instance returns 16 from playoff team last year, including their QB. Arizona St returns 17 from their playoff team including QB (although it was kind of a joke they were in the playoff). Penn St returns 14 including QB. Bama returns 14, 8 off of a top 10 defense and it might be a plus we don't return our QB as his inconsistency was one of our major problems

Given you are a Gump, this post is bordering on melt.

Ok, shut down the season.
Bama's gonna win it all. We all suck. No reason to play the games.
Congrats!

I'm worried about Gunner...

Ohio State has the two best players in CFB on their team. That has to help

Explain who should be ahead of them and where they should be ranked

Eh. That depends on how good the returners are.
Clemson’s returning starters lost 34-3 to Georgia last year and generally lost to every good team they played.

I agree. At least one of those teams is going to have multiple losses by week 4.

Not with elite teams it doesn't. Ohio State and Georgia are ranked high because Ohio State and Georgia have elite players and win 10+ games every season.
Texas has capable offensive replacements and returns tons of defensive guys.
Oregon is the one that sticks out, but they'll be uber talented.
Posted on 8/11/25 at 1:36 pm to narddogg81
Texas is returning almost the whole defense with probably 6-8 1st and 2nd round guys in the group.
We also have the Arch Manning hype. If offense is even just okay and lets the defense carry them, we can make the playoffs.

3 of those have money. Georgia the lone ranger has the best coach in the game.

Explain a Sabanless, QBless Gump team coming off four losses and a loss to a sucky Michigan team in a bowl game being tanked so high pre season. They should be 14 or 15

Proven winners with great recruiting classes returning a lot of the pieces from the previous year's playoff run.

The AP poll has Clemson and PSU above UGA. It has Alabama 8th.
I’m not sure what you are looking for in terms of “love”.

There aren't any surefire dominant teams out there and they don't know how to rank anything this year.

BOMC.
You'll get used to it.

All have head coaches that have been on national championship teams. Bama not so much.

Your problem is with preseason rankings, not Georgia or any other team
